I dug this yummy quilt out of the cupboard yesterday. When I first bought the friendship blocks there were not sewn as a quilt top and were very uneven I unpicked everything and resized all the pieces and hand stitched it all back together into the top you see in the top photo. I have also hand quilted.
The blocks were originally hand pieced in the 1940's by a group of women in North and South Carolina. Many of whom embroidered their names.

About Me

I have been a teacher and designer of quilts for 23 years, but have been quilting for a lot longer. I love traditional quilts and use antique quilts for my inspiration. I mostly use reproduction fabrics but occassionally branch out to brights. Some of my later quilts have been a mixture of reproduction and modern fabrics.
